LAWFUEL – The US Legal Newswire – The US Patent and Trademark Office Rules that go into effect on November 1, and the hotly debated Patent Reform are two distinct rule changes on a convergent path. Both rule packages create a new “proof of patentability” responsibility for patent applicants.
As a patent owner, PatentCafe echoes industry concerns that Patent Reform (S.1145) could destroy the US patent system, and America’s global competitiveness, if passed as it’s currently drafted.
However, as a patent search technology leader and IP management software publisher, PatentCafe has a responsibility to industry to create and support the most advanced and efficient patent management software solutions available – and that includes delivering cost-saving applications to companies that need to comply with the Examination Support Document (ESD) requirements.
The attached release announces PatentCafe’s Beta Release of 37CFR.com – the industry’s first Patent Rules Compliance Software that can help cut the estimated compliance costs by nearly half , while specifically helping patent professionals meet the detailed requirements of 37CFR §1.265.
